NCAA Committee on Infractions exploring change to possibly penalize ADs, presidents and others
Appears the infractions committee is on the move again. This is getting completely out of hand, like there's an insurgency within the NCAA by rogue actors.
I'm just concerned we're not clear of the NCAA/B1G witch hunt on Team 144.

HAHAHAHA
Relax.
The NCAA's whipping boy is gone to the NFL.
This is the most performative act of the decade, and that's including all of politics -- it's the NCAA vying for power they have no intention of ever using.

The NCAA is just thrashing around a bit on its deathbed.

The NCAA is as useful as a poopy flavored lollipop.

ADs maybe but presidents? You have to be kidding me. What are you going to impose on them. Ban from attending their own games? Who do you think you are NCAA. This is laughable at best.

I would LOVE to know just how the NCAA thinks they’re going to penalize the president of a university.

Not allow the U Prez to attend post-season game(s)? Guessing for a friend. 🤷♂️

It's gonna be hilarious when the NCAA finds out there will be no more NCAA in a few years 😀

People keep saying this like wishful thinking means something. I don't know if anyone here, even Brian, understands the real purpose of the NCAA.
The NCAA's job is to occupy what would otherwise be an administrative void and sit on it and do nothing (except occasionally bully a Michigan or Who-dat U for appearance's sake), to pre-empt the threat of anything relevant emerging that would do anything else. And it absolutely excels at that.
Everyone in any position of influence is immensely satisfied with what the NCAA is doing. The corruption is the point. The irrelevance is the point. The absolute LAST thing any OSU or Georgia or Alabama wants is a real regulatory body that can or will actually punish them for unethical behavior, all while hypocritically complaining about the status quo.
The NCAA has never been more stable. It's going to outlive every single one of us.

I completely agree that the NCAA exists for the benefit of the member institutions (or at least some of them). It is there to keep the legislators and government regulators at bay and to take the arrows when controversy arises. And as you point out, to do the absolute bare minimum when it comes to actual enforcement of the "rules."
[edit] And many industries have developed similar self regulatory organizations to limit meddling by outsiders.
However, I'm not convinced that its survival is completely within the control of the member institutions it protects. Listening to the MGoPodcast from 2/18, what if the NCAA loses lawsuits with multi-billion dollar damages? Seems like legal action could potentially threaten its existence.

The NCAA just a likes to bully schools that will comply, like Michigan. Sign gate would have been a nothing burger at Alabama and Alabama would tell the NCAA to go fuck off, like they have done before when they paid recruits before NIL.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the 2023 Michigan NCAA drama.
February 23rd, 2024 at 2:34 PM ^
Can the Schools consider ways to penalize the NCAA ?
Go Blue!

NCAA already knows not to mess with SEC teams.

Give Warde a show cause?
February 24th, 2024 at 1:23 AM ^
Do they have the power to fire Warde? That could be a good thing.
February 24th, 2024 at 5:39 PM ^
What a stupid and pathetic organization.
February 24th, 2024 at 8:46 PM ^
Bad Santa could be a real thing?
Fuck off NCAA
